Today is Global Running Day!!

 

Global Running Day is a worldwide celebration of running. You are invited to join in and run, support a runner, start running, read your favorite running blog, run in place in the bathroom stall – or celebrate the sport of running however you see fit.

 

Check out the Global Running Day site for info on how to celebrate. (Spoiler alert: The best way to participate is to go for a RUN!)

Sign up for a race – Check out the Race Discounts Page to save on a lot of different races!!

There area also discounts on Rock N Roll Races and other runner inspired promos like discounts on gear available today!

One of my favorite race series is the Lexus Lace Up Races. There are 4 races around Southern California – and they offer so many distances… 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon, Relay and Kids Runs!

Stretch Challenge Day 3 – Chest and Upper Back Stretch

 

 

Runner Stretch Day 3

 

Day 3: Chest and Upper Back Stretch

Chest and Upper Back Stretch: Stand tall and relaxed. Round upper back and bring your hands together in front of your chest. Drop head in between arms. Keep shoulders relaxed. Hold for 15-30 seconds.

Then, slowly release and bring arms behind you. Clasp hands. Open up chest, lift chin and breathe. Hold for 15-30 seconds.

Repeat as needed.

 

Stretch AFTER you are warmed up – either after your workout or after a very thorough warm up.

 

As you’re stretching pay attention to what your body is telling you:

  • where you feel tight, sore or fatigued in certain areas
  • if one side feels different from the other
  • how you feel after a hard run / race
  • how you feel after a rest day
  • flexibility and what you want to improve upon

 

It’s only a minute a day most days – so NO EXCUSES. Show up everyday.

 

Follow the Run Eat Repeat Facebook Page and Run Eat Repeat Instagram for a LIVE video check in.

 

Leave a comment with your workout for today on the Run Report – a daily check in I post everyday on Instagram.

Always consult with your doctor before starting a new diet or exercise program. Stop if there is any pain. Be smart, safe and kind to your body.
